Thanks for your input. I have about six other versions but
I’ll have to get it.
Horenstein usually gets mentioned with Mahler.

What’s your favorite recording of Mahler’s 8th Symphony?
Just listened to my old recording of Mahler’s 8th with Solti and the Chicago Symphony, using some new equipment.
Sonically, it’s undoubtedly the hardest of symphonies to record, considering the forces involved.
My new equipment changed my opinion of the recording. While I love the performance, I always found the sound somewhat lacking. I now find it, if not spectacular, more than equal to the task.
I’m wondering what other’s favorite versions of the Mahler 8th are:
1.Performance-wise and 2.Sonically.
